Lords-burg Liberal Pima extra No. 1 long staple cotton sold this week at the Tempe cotton exchange for SO cents per pound, a new record. The tendency continues upward and the cotton crop from 34,000 acres in Salt River valley this year will exceed 5,000,000 in value. The government of the United States proposes to rent the rifle range north of Prescott for grazing purposes. There is 1,760 acres of it. It grows some grass and like most of the land around here, would grow a variety of fine crops if under irrigation. f Courier. A cow. belonging to R. K. Bell, at the Whitehill ranch on the Mimbres, gave birth to triplet calves last week. The calves were fully matured but lived only a short while. This is four calves the cow has had this year as she was fresh in January. Silver City Enterprise. Arizona Teachers association met during forenoons this week and the teachers attended the fair afternoons. Between 600 and 700 teachers were in the city. Prom an educational standpoint Arizona stands equal to the best and our teachers are better paid than tnose or any eastern state. Gazette. The date crop in the Salt River valley is unusually heavy this year. It has not been in-, jured by rain, as was the case last year in the fruiting season. The fruit now is grown in aTl parts of the valley and the industry has been very successful, with a more general knowledge of the manner of pollenation. The United States Department of Agriculture urges buyers of baled hay to make certain that they do not buy veneered or faced bales as high-grade hay. Veneered bales contain high-grade hay on the outside while the center is packed with cheaper grades. The National Hay association is opposed to the practice, and has asked the department to assist in eliminating it. The permission given by the Mexican government for unrestricted shipments of potatoes has so far failed to bring the price of this food article any lower than it was before the ban was lifted. There are plenty of potatoes in the Pronteras district and they are cheap enough on the ground, but by the time they reach Douglas the cost mounts up to a figure hat gives small comfort to the consumer. The recent frosts have worked havoc with unmatured cotton bolls in some sections of the valley. The growers have no cause for complaint however. Already they have sufficient matured cotton to make this year's crop the most profitable one ever produced in the Salt river valley. Several days ago a few bales of the best grade of cotton brought close to seventy-six cents a pound, and a still higher figure is predicted. - Tempe News. Holders of mineral properties who desire to take advantage of the recent resolution of congress to the effect that assessment work will be suspended during the period of the war, are warned that they must fill out a "Notice of Intention to Hold Mining Claims," and file it with the County Recorder before the first of January. This applies to all claims filed with Recorders. Notices regarding claims in other counties must be filed with the County Recorder of the county in which the properties lie. R. G. Brady has bought the old Inter-Ocean ranch in the Catalina mountains from Tom Wills and associates and will stock it with cattle. This range joins Mr. Brady's "Three C" ranch on the south and will be a very valuable addition to Mr. Brady's range. In fact it will make him the best ranch in Southern Arizona. There is plenty of water and feed on this range and it will carry several thousand cattle the year round. Cattleman. At the Trench mine at Har-shaw, in charge of John Hoy, there is considerable activity at present. The new machinery lately delivered has been installed, and a 40 foot gallows frame has been erected over the shaft, which is now down 400 feet. The shaft will be sunk at least 200 feet deeper, although the equipment is capable of sinking to a depth of 1600 feet. The mine gives promise of early returns on the capital now being invested. Patagonian. The State Council of Defense has figures showing that Ariz ona this year will crop 1800 acres of beans, most of them of the pink and brown varieties, which can be grown successfully in the medium or lower altitudes where the soil is light and where there is an ample water supply. This production means 72 pounds for every man, woman and child in Arizona, if the crop be estimated at only 1000 pounds to the acre. Naturally there will be a very large surplus left for shipping or for military uses, Arizona thus contributing another "bit" for the war. Two stockmen from southern Grant county are preparing to ship their cattle into better range in Arizona. James Parks of Duncan will send his stock to some pasture land be has leased near Tucson. Dan Olney of Steins will ship his cattle to a point southwest of Tucson where he has obtained a state lease of a large tract of excellent graz ing land. Other cattlemen are making arrangements to ship out of the country during the drought while some are preparing to make a harvest of soap-weed for their stock. Lords-burg (N. M.) Liberal. Specimens of Ore Sent to State Fair To Col. R. R. Richardson is due most of the credit for the mineral display from this district at the permanent $30,000 mines building at Phoenix, he having gone to consideiable trouble and expense to secure some extra fine specimens from some of the properties in which he is interested and having them sent to the mines building. Among the specimens furnished by Colonel Richardson . were the following: One from the Hardshell mine, two from the 3 R, one from the Flux, three from the Josephine Canyon group, one from the Arizona-European.Mr. John Hoy gave a very fine specimen of high grade silver-copper ore from the Trench mine. Mr. Prank Powers of the World's Pair was not on his property when a representative of the Nogales chamber of commerce called, so a specimen from that famous mine was not secured for the state fair exhibit, but Mr. Powers assured him that a sample would be placed in the permanent display. Owners of mines should embrace the opportunity offered by the state bureau of mines to advertise their properties by placing specimens from them on display in the new building. The mineral wealth of Santa Cruz county is one of importance, and at this time, when the prices of metals are high and there is a great demand for them for use in the manufacture of war munitions, every effort should be made to bring to the attention of the men interested in the production of metals that Santa Cruz county is one of the richest mineral fields in the world, and needs only the capital necessary to mine at depth to prove that this is no idle boast.Patagonian. PASSPORTS ISSUED BY COUR1S Superior Courts Given Jurisdiction Except in Pima and Maricopa. All superior courts excepting those of Maricopa and Pima county have jurisdiction over and can issue passports, it was said at the office of the clerk of the federal court yesterday. tn Pima county and Maricopa counties, passports are issued at the federal court clerk's office only, it was said definitely. There had been some doubt as to the issuance of passports there. All native-born citizens of the United States wishing passports must go to the office of the clerk of the court for passports and bring with them their birth certificate and three copies of their photograph, three by three inches in size. Those who are not native-born, but are naturalized citizens, must bring three copies of their photograph, and their naturalization papers. These regulations are general throughout the state, whether apolication is made to county or federal courts. By the granting of jurisdiction to county superior courts, it is expected that considerable delay and expense will be saved to those desiring passports, for they can apply to the nearest court, except in Maricopa and Prma county. In these counties they must apply to the federal court at Tucson or at Phoenix. Star. FREE FOR ALU RACE. W. A. Moeur, commissioner of the state land department has entered the gubernatorial race in earnest, having been a receptive candidate for some time. He is well qualified and if nominated, will run like a racehorse. With Sidney P. Osborn, secretary of state, also in the running, it will divide the vote of Maricopa county very nearly equally between the two with the result favorable to an outside candidate. Fred T. Colter of Apache, C. M. Shannon of Pinal and C. M. Roberts of Cochise will likely be in the race and it is possible that Wiley E. Jones may conclude to put his name into the free for all jacK-pot. It is nearly a year before election day and several others may get the feeling as the water is tine. Messenger. HUNTING FOR GRASS. The great cattle movements from drouth districts over the country to other ranges has made a demand upon the railroads of the country that they have been unable to supply. About 100,000 cattle have to be moved from South Texas, and it is estimated that there will be a movement of 300,000 from the San Angelo and Midland districts and the scope of country intervening. Grass is being hunted for high and low. You meet cowmen on the train on the roads in automobiles, in the hotels, everywhere, hunting for grass. They say Arizona has more Texas cowmen in it than ever before. The greater parfr of New Mexico is in good condition, but there are some very dry spots. The railroad administrators of the country promise relief soon, and expect to despatch 3000 cars. We need them, and then some more. Pall plowing should be continued as long as the ground is in proper condition, and as a rule soil is in better condition from breaking in the south during November than any other month. Demonstration records collected by the department for several years indicate that deep fall plowing and thorough preparation of the seed bed have greatly increased the yield of all crops on the average southern farm. A cover crop of rye or oats may be sown after breaking, but where this is not practical the land may be left in the rough until later, when the disk, roller, and smoothing harrow can be used to put it intocondition.
